The new resources have already made a positive impact on our students' learning experiences. We have been using the laminating sheets, Velcro dots, and folders to create organized student information binders and the wallpaper and borders to create engaging classroom displays. One special project involved updating our students' personal binders with important information, communication supports, and individualized materials. The Velcro dots and laminated materials have made the binders more durable and accessible, allowing students to interact with them more independently.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were excited to see their updated binders and colorful classroom displays. Many of our students thrive on visual supports and organization, so having materials that are personalized and easy to use has increased their engagement and participation. They were super excited to use the extra binders and stickers to create their scrapbook that they get to take home at the end of their time in ATP. The biggest excitement came when students learned we would be using the Ninja Air Fryer during our cooking lessons. They were eager to help prepare simple recipes and practice important life skills such as following directions, measuring ingredients, and working together as a team.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we will continue using these resources to support independence, communication, and functional life skills. Our students are preparing for additional cooking projects where they will learn food preparation, kitchen safety, and healthy eating habits. We will also continue expanding our classroom displays and individualized binders to support student learning throughout the year. Your generosity has provided opportunities for meaningful hands-on learning experiences, and we are incredibly grateful for your support. Thank you for helping our students grow in confidence, independence, and success.","fullyFundedDate":1763576139216,"projectUrl":"project/life-skills-with-the-queen/9650830/","projectTitle":"Life Skills With the Queen","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Queen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7533012_orig.png?crop=1242,1242,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599964766092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-equeen"},{"teacherId":3119237,"projectId":9679494,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your support of our project, \"Empower 'At Promise' Students to Explore Life Through Digital Microscopy.\" Thanks to your generosity, our students now have access to the one high-quality digital microscope we requested through DonorsChoose. This microscope has made a tremendous impact in the classroom, allowing students to explore microorganisms, plant structures, and everyday objects at a microscopic level. One memorable moment was when a student exclaimed in amazement at seeing the intricate patterns on a leaf magnified on the screen, sparking curiosity and a lively discussion about cell structure and function.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions have been inspiring. Many were initially surprised and excited by the clarity and detail the microscope provided, and this enthusiasm has carried over into their learning. They are now more engaged in their observations, asking deeper questions, and connecting what they see to biology concepts. The hands-on experience has helped them develop critical thinking, observation skills, and a greater appreciation for the microscopic world.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to integrate this microscope into upcoming lessons and projects, including a unit on microorganisms and a collaborative research project where students document and share their findings. We hope that, with continued support, we can further modernize our lab and offer even more opportunities for our students to explore, experiment, and develop a lasting love for learning science. We offer our deepest appreciation for making this project possible and for helping our students discover, investigate, and grow as young scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1758311230325,"projectUrl":"project/empower-at-promise-students-to-explore/9679494/","projectTitle":"Empower ‘At Promise’ Students to Explore Life Through Digital Microscopy","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Palencia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3119237_orig.jpg?crop=502,502,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756936136851","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3119237"},{"teacherId":3119237,"projectId":9766387,"letterContent":"Our STEAM program began in 2018 as a Science Fair and later evolved into the Science and Math Fair, eventually becoming our annual STEAM Celebration.
